He's getting $10mil for 15 years…killing it Eddie.
Eddie is the definition of a veteran, been through wars, the highs, the lows, championships in multiple organisations etc. He has done it all. He has had 36 fights in total and has definitely taken a lot of damage and I'm happy Eddie signed with One FC cause whether he is making 8 figures or not he doesn't have to go through wars like he had to in UFC and Bellator. He can win fights there with ease and I'm guessing his first fight is going to be for the championship. A top 5 lightweight of all time in MMA.
